a thought that occurs to me is that if one has the belief that all that is real is only explicable in terms of particles and forces, and that nothing exists that is not one of these, then good and bad doesnt exist either, the same would be true for any concept for that matter.
or perhaps it is only true when reduced to the level of matter and forces, but without the moral force, meaning and purpose that such a materialist only description would entail.
after all, if death is forever, which is materialist view, then what does it matter if a seventy or seven year old enters the grave?
Sorry hon, you're far more invested in this subject than I am. I'm totally comfortable with my position (and have been for 30 years). You obviously are not.
Pope is cool though. I'm sure it's all about membership, but if it does some good, more power to him.

If you could press a button turning all theists into atheists would you press it?
Possibly.
For many that same peace is attained by communing with their Creators.

Sorry LT, I'm not interested in the hypotheticals of god. I don't believe, and I don't believe my life is diminished accordingly. I think it actually might do the world a lot of good to put the whole notion aside.
I am impressed with the new Pope though.

Life is precious because it's life, not any other reason.
If I am taking your meaning correctly, I agree.

Snare (or anyone else), before the Big Bang did time and space exist?
Who cares??? What possible effect does it have on us. We have a reality. There is a history I can experience through books and artifacts. It's incredibly flipping cool. How can I bother to expend an iota of concern over whether a tree falling in the woods makes any sound if no one is around?

This means for reality to even exist something has to always exist.
Hogwash

I am 0.00% convinced that there is a god
i think wickedness comes from evil people.. there are many people in between the two extremes of, overly good people and overly evil persons.. i do not believe in a devil.. i think he is a concept dreampt up by evil ones to blame bad behavior, as a red herring, on anyone but themselves.. the watchtower makes up attrocious lies, brow beats good people not to better themselves,.
all the while, they are building their own empire.. they say, do not isiolate yourself.
it is not good for you.. but if you don't agree with them and their current teachings, you will be shunned, disfellowshipped.. that can and does, have earth shattering results.. so many things, i was taught as a born in, are now considered apostate teachings.
What is wickedness, and what makes people bad/evil?

it airs live at liberty university tonight at 8 pm est and will be shown in theaters tonight and in oct, one day.
i hope to see this at one of those times or perhaps it will be available on line after that.
I'm sorry if I burst your bubble. I just can't imagine why anyone would choose to encourage scam artists that want to fleece you. That is the nature of their talent, being appealing, saying things that sound reasonable. We have already done this. We should probably learn from our experience.
